Thousands of Albanians demonstrated in the capital, Tirana, on Saturday protesting a controversial real estate development linked to Jared Kushner, former senior advisor to Donald Trump. Protesters allege the project, involving a luxury hotel complex, benefits from preferential treatment and lacks transparency. Demonstrators voiced concerns over potential corruption and the displacement of local residents. The development is being undertaken by a company with ties to Kushner’s real estate firm. Police were present during the march, and while largely peaceful, some minor clashes were reported. The protests highlight growing public discontent regarding foreign investment and its impact on Albanian communities. Opposition parties have also criticized the project, adding to the political pressure surrounding the development.
